Machaya Hall & Willmott, 1995 is a junior subjective synonym of Pachythone Bates, 1868

Despite the difference in appearance, Machaya Hall &

Willmott, 1995 (type species Machaya obstinata Hall &

Willmott, 1995) originates deep within Pachythone Bates,

1868 (type species Pachythone erebia Bates, 1868 ) at the time of rapid diversification of its crown group ( Fig. 30).

Therefore, to restore the monophyly, we propose that

Machaya is a junior subjective synonym of Pachythone .
